This dump specifically blames AsIO.sys and reports a stop error code of C4

Quote:

STOP 0x000000C4: DRIVER_VERIFIER_DETECTED_VIOLATION

Usual causes: Device driver

This is error was triggered because you were running Driver Verifier and it points to the offending driver. This is what Driver Veriefier is supposed to do. I also see that this driver is outdated: AsIO.sys - Mon Apr 06 03:21:08 2009.

I suggest you update this driver, reboot, and make sure Driver Verifier is still turned on. This driver belongs to the software AsIO or ASUS Probe V by ASUSTeK Computer Inc. You might just uninstall this software or update it from Asus. Make sure Driver Verifier is turned off while you are updating or uninstalling.

Hey, i couldn't find anyway of updating the intelsmb.sys driver but i did update many other drivers which seem to have greatly increased the performance of my pc.

On boot this morning i received another BSOD mindiump attached to me this looks like theres something seriously wrong with the system files, bluescreen view is showing that it was caused by, "avipbb.sys" which is a driver for avira antivir the anti virus i installed as a back-up when AVG was causing BSOD's.

hi, some good news i installed MSE as instructed then i turned my pc off. Turned it back on a couple of hours later expecting a BSOD and there wasn't one

Don't mark this thread as solved because it might have just been pure luck. I'll reply back tomorrow with the results.

Is there any chance all of this could of been Microsoft's doing as i checked my windows updates earlier and it said that the genuine advantage thing had been installed then uninstalled. So i downloaded and installed that again. I've read things about Windows Genuine Advantage giving people BSOD and also causing their computer to restart every 60 minutes, not sure if these are true.

I have never had a problem with Windows Activation Technology on Win 7. I can't say the same about Windows Genuine Advantage on XP. The problems I have read about from WAT are those that have illegal systems or something went wrong in the validation and a phone call to MS fixed it. To my knowledge no BSOD's were involved - just black backgrounds and warnings that the copy of Windows was not valid. Thus I rather doubt WAT was involved in your BSOD's.

Great news that you have had no more BSOD's. Please keep us updated on this. Most third party anti-virus programs have caused BSOD"s on some systems. Avast is the exception to this. I hope that Aviri was the cause and your system will continue to run smoothly. Don't for get to turn Driver Verifier back off if you have not done so.

Windows bsod on boot, slow boot, disk thrashing.Hey everyone.
Every time I boot up my PC, windows will load, but will take forever to load, during which lots of disk thrashing occurs, then gets the BSOD. After the BSOD, the pc will automatically reboot. After it reboots, the BSOD will not show back up, however it still takes about 5 minutes...
